The criminals that murdered Hrant Dink was honored in Turkey like
Ramil Safarov was honored in Azerbaijan two years ago.

During yesterday’s news program one of Turkish TV Channels aired a
film, which pictures the moment of arrest of Hrant Dink’s
murderer. Policemen treated the detainee as a hero. Instead of
handcuffs the criminal was handed the state flag of Turkey.

Editor-in-chief of the Istanbul based `Marmara’ daily Rober Hatechian
told ` Radiolur’ that the film blasted like a bomb in
Turkey. `According to comments of Turkish newspapers, policemen agree
that it was a patriotic step,’ he said.

The Government has already arrested the policeman who handed the
Turkish flag to the murderer.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
